<p>&quot;The View&quot; co-host Whoopi Goldberg slammed the stars of &quot;Will &amp; Grace&quot; for demanding a list of people attending a big-ticket fundraiser for President Donald Trump. Actors Debra Messing and Eric McCormack had called for The Hollywood Reporter to publish a list of people going to the Sept. 17 fundraiser for Trump in Beverly Hills. &quot;Hey, @THR, kindly report on everyone attending this event, so the rest of us can be clear about who we don&rsquo;t wanna work with,&quot; McCormack tweeted Aug. 30.&nbsp; See Figure 1 on PolitiFact.com &quot;Please print a list of all attendees please,&quot; Messing ...</p> <a href="/punditfact/statements/2019/sep/05/whoopi-goldberg/whoopi-goldberg-warned-about-another-hollywood-bla/">>> More</a>Thu, 05 Sep 2019 18:30:39 +0000http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2019/sep/05/whoopi-goldberg/whoopi-goldberg-warned-about-another-hollywood-bla/Whoopi Goldberg - Whoopi Goldberg wrongly says Obama waited ‘at least a couple of months’ to issue executive actionshttp://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2017/jan/26/whoopi-goldberg/whoopi-goldberg-wrongly-says-obama-waited-least-co/The Truth-o-Meter says: Pants on Fire! | Whoopi Goldberg wrongly says Obama waited ‘at least a couple of months’ to issue executive actions

After a striking comment from co-host Joy Behar, who hypothesized Trump was passing executive actions quickly because he was afraid he&rsquo;d be impeached, another co-host, Jedediah Bila, countered Behar&rsquo;s point saying &quot;all presidents do this.&quot; Goldberg offered an instant fact-check. &quot;I think the difference in what you&#39;re saying in terms of executive action is at least it took President Obama, at least a couple of months in, and this one (Trump) has came in and he said, &lsquo;We&#39;re doing ...</p> <a href="/punditfact/statements/2017/jan/26/whoopi-goldberg/whoopi-goldberg-wrongly-says-obama-waited-least-co/">>> More</a>Thu, 26 Jan 2017 22:22:08 +0000http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2017/jan/26/whoopi-goldberg/whoopi-goldberg-wrongly-says-obama-waited-least-co/Whoopi Goldberg - By Odin&#39;s Beard: Whoopi Goldberg flubs fact about female Thorhttp://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2014/jul/18/whoopi-goldberg/odins-beard-whoopi-goldberg-flubs-fact-about-femal/The Truth-o-Meter says: Mostly False | By Odin's Beard: Whoopi Goldberg flubs fact about female Thor

The only thing missing is politics, but it&rsquo;s Friday, so let&rsquo;s take a break from all that. We couldn&rsquo;t say no to a reader&rsquo;s plea to fact-check Whoopi Goldberg of ABC&rsquo;s The View about big news out of the comics world this week (though not the other piece of news of Archie dying after taking a bullet intended for his gay friend). &quot;Thor, the God of Thunder, he messed up,&quot; Goldberg said ...</p> <a href="/punditfact/statements/2014/jul/18/whoopi-goldberg/odins-beard-whoopi-goldberg-flubs-fact-about-femal/">>> More</a>Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:30:00 +0000http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2014/jul/18/whoopi-goldberg/odins-beard-whoopi-goldberg-flubs-fact-about-femal/Whoopi Goldberg - Whoopi Goldberg says that sexting is a felony in Texas, carrying a sentence of up to 10 years in prisonhttp://www.politifact.com/texas/statements/2011/feb/17/whoopi-goldberg/whoopi-goldberg-says-sexting-felony-texas-carrying/The Truth-o-Meter says: Half-True | Whoopi Goldberg says that sexting is a felony in Texas, carrying a sentence of up to 10 years in prison
